ORANGE SHIRT DAY

Today we learned about Phyllis Webstad and the Orange Shirt Story.  Phyllis was a little girl who went to a Residential School and when she arrived the nuns took her brand new orange shirt.  Phyllis shared her story.  She had to Say Something and today as we work towards Reconciliation we wear orange shirts - to remember Phyllis and Every Child Matters.

We created posters and scripts so we can present to the classrooms and students on Friday this week.  We will  wear an orange shirt on Tuesday October 1, 2019.

The story of Shi Shi Etko is another story about the legacy of Residential Schools and the story of a little girl and a family holding on to each other, their values, and their traditions.


ECOSYSTEMS

We continued looking to the human and natural world by doing a gallery walk and observing and reading about a variety of ecosystems.  We looked for biotic and abiotic features in the the pictures.  I can tell you what abiotic and biotic is.  I can tell you what an ecosystem is.  Ask me about the images below.











TERRY FOX

Bring a Toonie for Terry- Thursday September 26 is Bridlewood's Terry Fox run.  We run, like Terry, in the rain or snow or sun because together we are strong and can make a difference.  Make sure to dress for the weather.
